A New Craft Forum!

I have just created a new forum for crafters and am asking for your help to spread the word to everyone you know to help get it off the ground. It has categories set up for people doing all sorts of craft projects — needlework, paper crafting, sewing, painting, photography and even cooking!

There is a board set up for people to connect with other crafters and there's even a For Sale board where people can post links for craft items they wish to sell!

Right now, the forum is basically empty, because it is brand new and I'm just now launching it. Please help me get it started by sharing the link to it as widely as possible.

Thanks for your help in spreading the word about this new crafting forum!

Re: A New Craft Forum!

Verla, I just tried to register and it wouldn't let me. Maybe it knows I'm on deadline? It wants me to tell what letters are in the picture, but there's no picture, and when I request another I still don't get one.

Re: A New Craft Forum!

Would consider adding fiber arts to the forum? There has been a major upheaval at a popular knitting/crocheting site that has left people looking for new places to gather. As I mentioned above they are knitters, crocheters, spinners but there also are weavers and sewers.

Re: A New Craft Forum!

I think this is a great idea, Verla, and there are a lot of people looking for a friendly place to gather. My only problem is when I scroll over the background picture of flowers, the text is hard to read and the dark colors are a little startling.

If you need more information please let me know.

Yes, I'd be happy to add a special board for fiber arts people. I'll do that now!

I registered, and it seems to have gone through because it says my user name in not available. But when I try to log in i get an error message. I have not received a welcome letter; do I need to wait for that to come through? I checked my spam folder.

I accidentally mis-clicked on your acceptance and it required authorization. As soon as I realized, I went back and authorized you, Vonna. Let me know if you are still having trouble logging in.

Re: A New Craft Forum!

Yes, in the cooking area, but the forum is not moving forward AT ALL right now...no one is using it! We need to get a bunch of crafty people over there to start conversations. If anyone is or knows someone interested in joining a craft forum (like this forum) please let them know it's there—just waiting for them to activate it.

Re: A New Craft Forum!

Thanks, Verla.You'll probably notice on Facebook, but I'm joined a Food Lovers group where we exchange our culinary crafts and creations. I've put a link to your forum because there may be some interest.Hope you don't mind & if you do, I'll remove the post.

Re: A New Craft Forum!

Verla, Sorry about this but I forgot all about your new forum (I've been too crafty myself of late) & want to contribute towards it.I've set up a new profile & want to see if it moves forward.Hopefully we will get a few more going since Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas are coming up.If it works for me, maybe attaching a link for those who join from here would a way of getting traffic.TE
